ABOUT THE SERIES

Organised by the Estonian Drift Association, the competition brought Pro, Pro2 and Street drivers to Viljandi County. This gallery includes photographs from both days: cars taking corners together, sunlight catching the tyre smoke and spectators watching from the edge of the circuit.

The pace changes in the paddock. Open engine bays, roll cages and worn tyres reveal how the cars are built. A helmet, a photograph attached to a steering wheel and small toy figures add a personal touch. Moving between the circuit and the paddock, the series records the runs and the pauses between them.
